Hi everyone!
Today I put my two pregnant (I believe they are anyway) does in a moveable pen with my buck and sister's wether, so that they could graze... Bergamot the buck decided to try to mount Cookie, one of the does, and I'm just wondering if that would be a potential problem? I took him out of there, because I thought I read that if they breed when they're already pregnant it can cause problems... anyway, she doesn't seem to be in heat; no tail-wagging that I've seen, and no discharge. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks!

If he is pestering her, I might take him out so he doesn't stress her out. If she is pregnant already, I am surprised she is standing for it, though I have heard of some does that will stand for breeding while pregnant.

Okay! Thanks! She wasn't too happy with him. :) I don't think they bred. :)
